Terms of Service
Last updated: July 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using The Takeaway ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time.
2. Description of Service
The Takeaway is a personal meeting assistant that transcribes source material and uses AI to curate prominent decisions, commitments, insights, context, and next steps into clear Takeaways. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind.
3. User Accounts
An account is required to use the Service's meeting capture, processing, history, and sharing features. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree NOT to:
- Upload content you don't have rights to use
- Record conversations without consent of all parties (where required by law)
- Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or exploit the Service
- Upload malicious content or attempt to compromise security
- Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service without permission
- Exceed rate limits or abuse the API in any way
- Use automated tools to scrape or collect data from the Service
- Impersonate any person or entity
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers
5. Content Ownership & License
You retain ownership of all content you upload ("User Content"). By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process your User Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.
We do not claim ownership of your meetings, transcripts, or generated summaries. Audio captured through direct recording is retained privately for saved-meeting playback and is automatically removed after 7 days on Free or 90 days on Pro and Team; Enterprise retention is custom. You can delete audio sooner, and account deletion removes it sooner. Meeting content is private by default; access through a share link is scoped to the token for the link you explicitly create and any link controls you configure.
6. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
IMPORTANT: Summaries, action items, and other outputs are generated by artificial intelligence and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. The Service is not a substitute for professional advice.
You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying all AI-generated content before relying on it for any purpose. We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of AI outputs.
7. Recording Consent & Compliance
You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents from participants before recording any meeting or conversation. You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws regarding recording consent, including but not limited to two-party consent laws. We are not liable for any legal consequences arising from your failure to obtain proper consent.
8. Pricing & Payments
The Free plan includes 3 meetings per month at up to 30 minutes each. Pro is $18 per month and includes 50 meetings per month at up to 3 hours each. Team is $24 per user per month and includes unlimited meetings at up to 4 hours each. Payments are processed through Stripe. Current pricing and billing terms are displayed at purchase. Refunds may be issued at our sole discretion.
9. Service Availability
We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform maintenance, updates, or experience downtime without notice. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TAKEAWAY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Takeaway and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. You may cancel your account at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 5, 6, 10, 11, and 13 shall survive termination.
13. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Texas. You waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
